Can't bind Ikea Styrbar remote to Tradfri bulb

[Raizelian]

Hi,
I have a fresh install of zigbee2mqtt (with mosquitto eclipse) running on my RaspberryPi 4.

I successfully paired both my Ikea Styrbar remote control and my Tradfri bulb. However, I can’t figure out how to use my remote to control the bulb.
I tried binding them through the GUI but the “Bind” action does nothing. I can control the bulb through the GUI itself, but I want to use my remote.

What am I missing? Sorry if it’s obvious, but I’m very, very new to all of this. And thanks for any answers!

I use this

ZHA, deCONZ, Zigbee2MQTT - IKEA E2001/E2002 STYRBAR Remote control Universal blueprint - all actions + double click events - control lights, media players and more with Hooks

Thanks for answering, I checked those out.
I’m using two blueprints, the Controller for my Styrbar remote and the Light Hook.
However, nothing works. When I press the buttons on my remote, nothing happens with the light.

Here’s my controller configuration:

alias: Styrbar
description: ''
use_blueprint:
  path: EPMatt/ikea_e2001_e2002.yaml
  input:
    integration: Zigbee2MQTT
    controller_entity: sensor.clicky_free_action
    helper_last_controller_event: input_text.last_controller_event
    action_button_down_long:
      - device_id: <id>
        domain: light
        entity_id: light.trad_free
        type: brightness_decrease
    action_button_up_long:
      - device_id: <id>
        domain: light
        entity_id: light.trad_free
        type: brightness_increase
    action_button_up_short:
      - type: turn_on
        device_id: <id>
        entity_id: light.trad_free
        domain: light
    action_button_down_short:
      - type: turn_off
        device_id: <id>
        entity_id: light.trad_free
        domain: light

And this is the light hook:

alias: Hook - Light
description: ''
use_blueprint:
  path: EPMatt/light.yaml
  input:
    controller_entity: sensor.clicky_free_action
    controller_model: IKEA E2001/E2002 STYRBAR Remote control
    light: light.trad_free
    light_color_mode: Color Temperature
    controller_device: <id>

Where am I going wrong?

Nevermind, I think I solved it!
What I did:

1. I removed the Styrbar from my Zigbee2Mqtt devices
2. I stopped Zigbee/Mosquitto/HA (docker-compose in my case)
3. I put everything back up again
4. I re-paired only the Styrbar remote without touching the Tradfri bulb
5. I pressed some buttons so that HA would see the “action” entity of the Styrbar remote once again
6. Checked that everything looked fine in the two blueprints
7. Everything works!

So it wasn’t a blueprint/yaml issue, just a problem with the device itself and its pairing to Zigbee2Mqtt.
I’m unsure if it helped, but between taking everything down and putting it all back online I connected my Zigbee receiver (a CC2652P usb device) through a 1m long 3.0 usb extension cable.

Everything works now, even setting the color temperature.
